Stardate 46307.2
Geordi (LeVar Burton) is assigned to survey a new mining development with Dr. Farallon (Ellen Bry), the inventor of an experimental mining technology. When a power grid malfunctions, Farallon repairs it with an exocomp, a sophisticated robot she created.
Back on the Enterprise, she convinces Picard (Patrick Stewart) to let her use exocomps to repair the mining system. Initially they perform well, but moments before an explosion, one becomes unresponsive, miraculously saving itself. Intrigued, Data (Brent Spiner) investigates and discovers that the exocomps are alive!
When a radiation leak traps Picard and Geordi on the mining station, Farallon and the crew want to send the exocomps to save them, but Data questions if they have the right to sacrifice other living creatures to save themselves.

After arriving on the forbidden planet, the assault team enters a cavern, realizing too late, that it's a trap. Picard is captured an taken to the ruthless Gul Madred (David Warner) for interrogation. Part one of two.
